A look at war

What is war ? Please don't tell me , fighting is war . Because if so, then what is a Cold War ? A war without fighting . No fighting , but something is there like war . What is that ? The very simple and short definition of war is , imposition of one's will over the other is war . It could be between two persons, two groups, or two nations . One side says something , the other side agrees to it , there is no war . The other side disagree . There is war between the two . Either of the side forced to concede , and concedes , the war is over . No war , again .

Hiranyakashyap said , " I am God , worship me " . His son , Prahlaad , didn't agree , didn't concede , war was there between father and son .

Each maintained his version , war continued for sometime , Narsingh Awtar appeared on the scene , Hiranyakashyap was killed , his version disappeared , war was over . So is the case of Ram - Rawan war, so is the case of Mahabharat .

In all these three cases one thing is common , and that is , that one who imposed the will was wrong , and one who refused to concede was right . The war was fought in all the three cases , the wrong doer perished and the right doer came out as victorious and then the war was over . But war was always there right from Rigvedic period , Devtas and saint were forced to fight against the Danavs who obstructed the performance of their rituals . It teaches us a lesson that it is always the " right " who gets victory over the " wrong " , but it is also the part of the lesson that the right has to establish it self , again and again . So , the ' good' has to establish its dominance over the 'wrong ' repeatedly , because , not only that , that this dominance of right is not established over wrong automatically , at times wrong succeeds in getting dominance over the right . At least in our mythology , past and even in present the case is like that . It is not always that , that the wrong doers only impose their will , even the right doers can impose their will over wrong doers . So , we need to wage a war against many wrongs being established over the good in our country since long . Evils never disappear of their own and needed to be irradiated with their roots. So where do we start from : war against our inactivity , war against our remaining ignorant & indifferent to so many wrongs and let us remain suffering , war against lethargy or war against corruption . And this time the ' will ' will not be imposed by the wrong doers but by right doers .

What is the joy of festivity if we don't wake up to iradicate the evils from our society . Or waiting for some Awtar to come for our rescue .
